The Best Hotel Restaurants in Toronto

The best hotel restaurants in Toronto aren’t just for tourists. Many of them don’t require you to be a guest of the hotel to dine at them, and rather than sheltering visitors from the local colour they invite it right into the dining room. Because they serve as food ambassadors, these are actually some of the most impressive and reliable spots in town. 

Here are the best hotel restaurants in Toronto. 

4 - Buca (Yorkville)

This Yorkville location of a popular Italian restaurant is open early so Four Seasons guests can get their bombolone and espresso early, or crudo later on.
